What jobs can you do with a physics degree?

I love physics but I don't know what I could do with a degree in it. I see people suggest teacher, engineer, or scientist, but I don't want to do any of those things. Is there anything else I can do with it or should I study something else?

astrophysics seems cool. u can work for nasa and do a ton of physics on an interesting topic like space. i assume theres some good job growth too in that sector going to mars and all that.

u work in a team and theres lot u can do like work on rockets, robots, or calcualte the forces or help with the electronics components, or be more of a scientist and do all the theory making stuff abt black holes and all rhat. depends on what part of physics u enjoy.

you can go into careers unrelated to physics as well - IT, finance, consulting etc.

i personally know a couple of people who have done physics degrees. one works in the nuclear industry, one works in fintech. you can easily move outside of a 'science' career if you choose as during your degree you'll likely pick up skills in software, analysis, etc. that are very versatile.

have a look here as well, there's a wide range of things you can do within physics; building physics, safety, software engineering, acoustics, data science, the list goes on...
